I am a world-class thief. Or I was, before I got pinched and landed in prison. After I served my time, I decided to get on the right side of the law, or as much as my job at Jameson Force Security allows. The lines sometimes blur, which suits me just fine. My name might be Saint, but I’m a devil to most.My plan to go legitimate is going as anticipated, until my past and present collide in a big … big way. While in Paris preparing to take down a ring of highly specialized thieves, I come face-to-face with my biggest threat—and my most dangerous temptation.Sindaria “Sin” Westin was the love of my life, until her betrayal landed me behind bars. Now I’ve got to find a way to trust her again, at least long enough to pull off this job. When it becomes clear the price for this heist will be our lives, I realize I need to do whatever it takes to keep Sin safe, even if it means trading my life for hers. Because no matter the lies I’ve told myself, Sin’s greatest theft was the day she stole my heart.

the next installment in the Jameson Force Security series.is Code name heist. In this book we get Saint and Sin. I just love these names/characters together, notably given their occupations, and pasts. They are professional thrives and are now working together even after their past. Can they trust each other and will the be able to see eye to eye on their past and present. The story is quick and moves easily that you can’t put the book down. The characters are great the story is great and the chemistry is off the charts. I highly recommend and sawyer Bennett did not disappoint
***** AUDIOBOOK REVIEW *****
So I jumped right into the middle of this series and started with series with Code Name: Heist. I really enjoyed the tention in this audiobook… it was alive with it. Saint and Sin are amazing together… and not just working a high tech, super sleuth operation together but they way they move and think together. My favorite is the way neither have let the other go and boy do they want too… at first anyway. Gahhh… I just loved the tension and chemistry oozing out of this story and these characters.
Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright are amazing storytellers. They gave Sin and Saint these fabulous personas. Sawyer Bennett may have developed them and have given them upbeat characteristics but the narrators really breath life into them. This was a great listen. It was a high tense and suspenseful feeling story and I’m excited that I can go back and listen to the earlier books in the series.
In the audio version of this book, Joe Arden and McKenzie Cartwright do an excellent job telling us the story of Saint and Sin. Years ago the two were lovers while they were involved in high level thefts. Sin set up Saint and caused his arrest and subsequent imprisonment in order to save his life. Saint is now working for Jameson and is sent into an undercover situation involving a worldwide theft ring led by a pretty bad guy. Imagine his surprise when he walks into his first meeting and sees Sin sitting at the table. Working together gives them time to talk about the past and work through her actions in the past. In a fast-paced story, their romance is flourishing in spite of the danger they find themselves in. Everything comes full circle before they can find their HEA.
The narrators do an excellent job of retelling the past while keeping the present time storyline moving right along. Tension is high both because of the dangerous job and the reawakening of old feelings between the two onetime lovers. The various accents are well done and consistent. The narration added to my enjoyment of this book.
.
While this book is primarily Saint and Sin’s story, there is enough side action going on to set up future possibilities. Like the first two books in the series this one leaves you wanting the next one to come sooner rather than later!
Sin and Saint are my new favorite couple in this series. I absolutely loved them and the ride they took me on.
The action starts quickly and doesn’t let up throughout the book. It was so great. There were twists and turns and oh my gosh moments around every corner.
Saint is a master thief who got caught for something and sent to jail. After jail he decided to join up with Jameson Security and use his skills for something a little more meaningful. His first bog assignment sees him off on his own back int the world he left and right back into the gravitational pull of Sin. Sin and Saint have a long history that is full of love, loss and betrayal.
Sin is a safe cracker and has been working jobs for a crime boss/business man to try and help get her Dad out of his debt. She hates working for him and the jobs he sends her on and the crew she must work with, but she loves her Dad more. When Saint falls back into her life, her world is once again turned upside down.
Sin and Saint must navigate their personal relationship and history while trying to stay alive and pull off a huge heist.
These books are all great but this one really had me hooked form the first few pages and I didn’t put it down until the end.
Code Name: Heist may be the third book in the Jameson Force Security series but it can be read or listened to as a stand alone. My overall rating is 4.5 stars but I have rounded up thanks in part to the wonderful narration of the book. One thing I found missing was more interaction between the other members of the team. Unlike the other books more of the team members were involved in the missions. This one was Saints and basically his alone. Sure there were some involvement with the other team members but for this reader/listener not enough.
The narrators did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life. Between the author’s writing and the narration you could really visualize the story and if you sat back and closed your eyes while listening you had the “movie” playing in your head.
This is a story of second chances with a ton of mystery involved. Sin broke Saint’s trust years ago with her betrayal causing Saint to spend time in jail. Now they are working together again thanks in part to Saint’s assignment for Jameson Force Security. Will Saint be able to trust Sin again and will he be able to pull this job off while keeping his cover from being blown. There were several twists I wasn’t expecting which added to the enjoyment of the story. I am looking forward to the next book in the series as well as more from this author as well as narrators.
Fresh out of prison, former thief Saint Bellinger decided to turn over a new leaf and now works for Jameson Security. While on assignment in Paris to take down a team of first-class thieves, he crosses paths with the woman responsible for landing him in prison–his ex-girlfriend Sindaria “Sin” Westin. They still have feelings for each other, but will Saint be able to trust Sin again?
This story is action-packed and full of suspense. The chemistry between Saint and Sin was off the charts. I loved that they each understood where the other is coming from and are willing to do everything for each other.
This is the third book in the series, but the first that I’ve listened to or read and I love that it’s written in a way that I didn’t feel like im missing parts of a bigger picture.
Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright did an excellent job narrating. They were both great at doing accents and making each character sound distinguishable from the others.
Code Name: Heist is a second chance contemporary romance written in dual first-person POV and performed in dial narration. It’s a standalone that ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.
I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
Saint and Sin have a past. They are both thieves and when a job went bad, Sin left Saint and he went to prison. Since joining Jameson Security, he’s put those days behind him until a job comes up requiring his expertise. Little does he know, Sin is on the job as well. Once the shock of seeing Sin again wears off, anger takes its place. Once Sin explains, can Saint forgive and work towards rebuilding their relationship Sin once the job is done?
I enjoyed the story.
Code Name: Heist (Jameson Force Security #3) was another great read by Sawyer Bennett. This is a great second chance romance for Saint and Sin. Saint is a world class thief who decided to do right after landing in prison. He now works for Jameson Force Security. While I; Paris for a job to help him go legitimate, he sees Sin again. She was the love of his life until she got him locked up. I really enjoyed reading Saint and Sin’s second chance at love. I can’t wait to read more by Sawyer Bennett.
Sawyer Bennett brings us one suspenseful second chance romance. Saint and Sin have been lovers until SIn had Saint put in prison. Can you imagine his turmoil when he must once again work with her? The story revolved around the heist, and all the suspense that it brought. I was hanging on the edge of my seat for most of the book. Intertwined in the job, was the romance between Saint and Sin. They were forced to work together, but their hearts were full once again, Saint struggled with falling for Sin again, but the idea of having her in bed, was more than a temptation. I loved his struggles. It made him real and easy to relate to. Sin’s father also had a hand in the job, but he was ailing. He brought depth to this story and gave Sin a real heart.
Jow Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright bring this story to life. It is through their narration, that suspense is so intense. Arden was the perfect Saint. He brought out the ruggedness of Saint, but gave him heart too. Cartwright Gave Sin her edginess and spunk. Together, Arden and Cartwright created a movie in my mind.
I absolutely enjoyed this second chance storyline with a suspense element. I loved the chemistry between Saint and Sin. The twist and turns will keep you intrigued until the end. Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright’s narration is fantastic! A great listen.
This was Sawyer at her very best. I’m a sucker for a good suspenseful romance and Sawyer never disappoints. Add in that I listened to this with some amazing narrators and this book was an amazing book.
This was such a gripping story that grabbed me from the beginning having me right on the edge till the very end. It was so damn steamy with loads of intense chemistry and combustible sexiness. This was a second chance romance like no other with action, drama, steam and love all wrapped up in an electrifying story.
Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright were spectacular. I loved the enthusiasm and energy they put into making this so much more enjoyable then just reading myself.
I cannot wait for more is this fabulous series as always Sawyer keeps me coming back for more.
Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright certainly bring this 2nd chance romance to life, along with all of the antics that Sin and Saint get caught up in. Betrayals are sometimes not what they appear to be and when Sin and Saint partner up for one more heist they both have important lessons to learn…can they make it out alive and continue the love or will this one cost them it all.
I actually binged Code Name: Genesis (book 1) and Code Name: Sentinel (book 2), prior to picking up Code Name: Heist. I’m a bit anal when it comes to reading series, even ones where each book can be read as a stand-alone, which is the case with the Jameson Force Security series because each book focuses on a different couple. However, I am so happy I made the decision to read the books in order because I am having such a fun time with this series–each book was exciting and fast-paced with a high-stakes security problem that kept me glued to the pages.
With that said, Code Name: Heist is my favorite out of the three so far. We leave the United States and jet off to Paris with our hero, Saint Bellinger, a former thief who was tasked to infiltrate a crew of thieves who are planning a major heist. Saint was surprised to find his former lover and the love of his life, Sindaria “Sin” Westin, part of the crew. There was lots to love in this book! The title doesn’t disappoint–we witness a few heists in action which are so fun to read! We travel to several European countries! We get a second-chance romance with an interesting couple–they both have their own issues personally and with each other, but they communicated and confronted about what happened to them in the past right away which I so appreciated. Saint and Sin also had great chemistry and their intimate scenes were hot and sexy! Plus, we also see other couples and characters in the previous books, which is always fun for me.
I read Code Name: Heist via audiobook and the narrators Joe Arden (who read Saint’s chapters) and Mackenzie Cartwright (who read Sin’s chapters) did an excellent job bringing the story to life. I especially enjoyed Mackenzie Cartwright’s narration–to my [untrained] ears, she did a good job with the accents. I always measure an audiobook on whether the narration elevates the novel and the narrator(s) adds an extra depth to the story I wouldn’t have gotten if I was reading it on my own, and I think Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright did just that. I highly recommend the audiobook!
If you’re looking for a romantic thriller series to binge, I highly recommend the Jameson Force Security series and once you get to Code Name: Heist, you’re in for a treat! But, if you just want to skip to Heist, go for it–it can be enjoyed as a standalone.
Female and male narrator did a great job. Liked her accent and tone of voice, and he fit the character of Saint well. Recommend listening!
This can be read as a stand-alone; there are characters from previous books, but this is a full story on its own. This is the first book of this series I’ve read, and I wasn’t lost at all.
Saint used to be a thief, but he went to jail for a couple years. After he got out, he joined a private security type crew. As part of that crew, he’s tasked with taking down a group of thieves in Paris. It just so happens the woman he was romantically involved with before going to prison is part of the crew too; it just so happens she was the one that got him caught.
Sindaria “Sin”, has her reasons for betraying Saint, but I think she definitely could’ve thought of a better idea. Loved that Sin is capable and has her kick butt moments; she can be a tough cookie. Saint is mostly a sweet guy and it was great how much he supports Sin. Both Sin and Saint are the type of thief with a heart of gold, but I wasn’t exactly commiserating with them over their issues because sorry not sorry, but you guys are thieves. Both are likable characters though, and it was great to get a couple flashback scenes to when they first met. I didn’t quite feel the depth of their connection at first, but as the story went on the connection did get better. The sexy times were good; could’ve used a bit more detail, but I liked what was there. Loved the sweet moments between them.
The heist stuff was lots of fun; I liked the art and jewelry aspect to the heists. A little bit more danger would’ve been great, but I really enjoy this type of story, so I found it all entertaining. Overall, I enjoyed the whole story and was entertained the whole time.
Everything Bennett is amazing! If you’ve read the hockey series’ or the Wicked Horse but not the Jameson Force you better get on the bandwagon in a big hurry! (Not to mention they cross over!)
Code Name: Heist is the third book in the Jameson Force Security Series, a romantic suspense. I haven’t listened the other books of the Series yet. Saint and Sin’s second chance to love is captivating! The character’s names fit their personality! Sexy, adventurous, and intriguing. Saint is handsome, protective and caring. Sin is strong, badass, sassy and beautiful. They share a sizzling chemistry, and a beautiful love. The secondary characters are intriguing. The storyline is well written, suspenseful, and action packed. I love the ending. Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright did an amazing job with the narration. I love their voices together. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listen to the other books in the Series.
for the audio –
I wasn’t sure where this story was going when it started. After all, a heist isn’t your typical Jamieson scenario. I quickly found myself deep in the story. There was so much intrigue and lots of plotting in order to do the jobs. With so many things that could go off the rails, Saint was a master of his craft. I really enjoyed listening to this story.
Mackenzie Cartwright was perfect as the voice for Sin. I loved how the words were practically purred as Sin spoke. And even when hearing Sin’s dad say “Sindaria!” it was great. Joe Arden’s performance as Saint was strong and smooth like silk. Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright both had chances to express different accents as their characters needed to pretend to have different ones. I have no clue if the accents were correct or not, but they sounded good to me. It was a pleasure listening to both narrators.
While there was mention of the other team members and their stories, you do not have needed to have listened to those to have enjoyed this one.
First off, it’s brilliant having your main characters named Sin and Saint! I couldn’t love that more! This second chance love story based around Sin and Saint kept me riveted to my seat and I couldn’t wait to finish the story. I loved this band of brothers from Jameson and Saint is a perfect addition to that team. The dialogue between these two was good and the story kept me entertained. It was a shorter story but didn’t skip on the details. It was a good read.
3.5 stars
There was a lot of technical movement in this book, meaning with all of the heist/thieving, I can see it being played into a movie. I felt a bit lost though as I didn’t read or listen to book 2 yet. I know these are standalones but I was getting confused on whose who. Haha, Sin and Saint, very clever. I do look forward on whats to come in this series.
Joe and Mackenzie did a great job with the accents as well.

Audiobook Review
Saint Bellinger is working for Jameson Force Security trying to put his life on the straight and narrow. He gave up the life of a professional thief after he was sent to prison. Now his boss has a special job for him and it will throw him back into this exciting adrenaline filled world. What he doesn’t know is he will be put face to face with the one woman that stole his heart and shattered it to pieces so long ago.
Sindaria (Sin) Westin wants out of the business but she is indebted to a man to pay off her father’s debts. She has special skills and that makes her primary to big jobs. When a major heist is being planned she is key to the success but when she is faced with Saint after all these years she isn’t sure she can continue. He still has her heart and she doesn’t know if he will ever forgive her for what she did to him.
This is an amazing audiobook. I was completely wrapped up in this story from beginning to end and felt as though I was in an action movie with these characters. It’s really good when an author can bring you into the story and you can see the surroundings from their words. That’s how this book was for me, I could picture where Saint and Sin were and what was happening. I love all the characters and even though this is the first book in this series I have listened to I didn’t feel as though I stepped in mid way. It is part of a series but they are stand alones. There is danger, suspense, desire, and excitement throughout the book so it keeps your attention the entire time. I loved it!
Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright were amazing. Spot on from beginning to end and it was pure pleasure listening to them.
I loved it and highly recommend it.
